The matter concerns the arrest in Stockholm in early April 1916 of comrade B u k h a 
r i n, and shortly after him comrades P y a t a k o v, Y. S u r i t s, and N. G o r 
d o n,
in connection with the preparation of a congress of Swedish youth. After
several days of arrest, the arrested comrades were expelled from Sweden
and moved to Kristiania.

Dear A[lexande]r! The conference has concluded 2), its manifesto has been published (from 1-U). I hope you are receiving "Berner Tagwacht" or another Swiss newspaper? If not, drop us a line and we'll send the French text.

G[rigory] [Zinoviev] is preparing a detailed letter about the conference, which will be sent to you.

On the whole, the adopted manifesto — a step forward, and even the French deputies (three, of whom one semi-Bolshevik Brisson) 4) accepted it. A resolution was adopted criticizing pacifism and a resolution on the International Socialist Bureau with sharp criticism of it. On the whole, this is all the same, despite a host of shortcomings, a step toward a break with social-patriots.

The Left was stronger this time: a Serb, three Swiss, one Frenchman (not a deputy; not from a group, but in his own capacity) strengthened our Left. Then two Germans (from the "Internationale" group) 5) walked with us on the main points.

Have you seen Guésde's manifesto? There is clearly a malicious "hint" at us there! The "Volksfreund" (Braunschweig) answered him well 6).

Regarding the Japanese, we have decided to make one more, final, I hope, attempt at agreement: 1) all old agreements (oral) are cancelled; 2) an agreement between the editorial office of the Central Organ editing the issue, and the publishers — from booklet to booklet, i.e., for each booklet separately; 3) publish № in Berne (in Stockholm it is clearly impossible). 7)

Try it — it will come out or not. If not, we will publish the "Miscellany of Social-Democrat." We cannot wait.

Here is the plan for № 3 8):

1) Materials from Russia (up to 3 sheets).
2) Theses of the editorial office of the Central Organ on self-determination.
3) Lenin's article on the same.
4) 2nd Zimmerwald Conference. G[rigory] Z[inoviev] or Lenin.
5) B u k h a r i n: economic topic.
6) Lialin [Pyatakov] on the cost of living.
7) A[lexande]r [Shlyapnikov] — from Russia.
8) A Serb and an Italian promised articles.
9) Russian topics. G[rigory] Z[inoviev].
10) Radek — continuation 9) (?? hardly worth it. In my view, no) *.
10) Kollontai — from America.
11) A Latvian.
12) Varin.
13) Women's working movement.
14) Bibliography.
15) On Trotsky, Martov, and the Fraction of Tseretelli...

Think it over, investigate on the ground, find out more tactfully, and answer quickly.

I shake your hand firmly and wish you every success.

Your Lenin

P. S. Regarding the Jewish miscellany 10), as Nadia has already written, I agree with you. Regarding materials, Nadia has written to Berne repeatedly. Greetings to Alexandra Mikhailovna!!
Your Lenin.

[Postscript by N. K. Krupskaya.]

Kautsky writes to Ryazanov that Branting wrote him that besides N[ikolai] I[vanovich] three more Bolsheviks are being expelled — who are they? Are they not the Japanese? There is some confusion with your letters. Partly you write to us, partly
